The Be Happy in Health! series is a brief introduction to the mind, glands and hormones and how they relate to human psychology and health. A few simple techniques are introduced here. See the eBook for the full system. The Fifth CakraAt the level of the throat is what's called the Sidereal Plexus. It controls the ethereal factor, and is itself controlled by the Subtle Causal Mind. The ethereal factor has up until recently not been recognized as having any real substance. We have considered space to be a vacuum, but recent scientific research has shown that space is in fact a substance in itself, albeit a very subtle one. It's associated with sound, because – contrary to traditional scientific theory – it's not air which carries sound, but the ethereal factor within the air. This cakra controls speech, and, through the hormone thyroxin secreted by the Thyroid Gland, the whole body metabolism. The Thyroid has two lobes located on either side of the throat. It is also the "thermostat" of the body, controlling the body's temperature. Normal Thyroid secretion produces the quality of self-reliance. In men it also deepens the voice and stimulates the moustache to grow. Under-development of this plexus gives rise to irrationality and a quarrelsome nature. The Parathyroid Glands (two on each side of the Thyroid) regulate the metabolism of calcium and phosphorous in the body via the secretion of their hormone PTH (Parathyroid Hormone). Normal secretion of PTH gives the qualities of intellectuality and rationality. Under-secretion leads to vanity. An interesting point here is that the development of the Parathyroids is inversely proportional to the development of the lymph glands. In other words, the more developed the Parathyroids, the less developed the lymph glands, and vice versa. The lymph glands give athletic ability, so generally we find that the more athletic someone is, the less intellectual they are and vice versa. Note that we're talking about intellect (the desire to study and learn theoretical knowledge) and not intelligence. Intelligence does not depend on intellect! There are two asanas (performed as a pair) that have a direct effect on the Thyroid and Parathyroids, because one (the Shoulderstand) bends the neck forward, and the other (the Fish) bends it backward, massaging the glands and regulating their hormone secretion.
Healthy Hints:For the maintenance of healthy body metabolism and energy, two things are important here: relaxation and sleep. Throughout the day get into the habit of consciously checking that you're doing everything in a very relaxed and efficient way. Most of the tension we feel is not really necessary – we just convince ourselves that we're in a stressful situation and get tense as a result. The deep relaxation that you do after asanas will help to a great extent. You can also do it during the day as well, as many times as you like. It's especially important to do deep relaxation regularly if your work and activity involves a lot of thinking.
